National Alpaca Day – August 01, 2023
National Alpaca Day
- Alpacas live at high altitude in the South American Andes.
- The alpaca is the domesticated version of the vicuña. Vicuñas are descended from camel-like animals that evolved in North America then moved south roughly 3 million years ago
- Baby Alpacas Are Called ‘Cria’. The word “cria” translates directly as “breeding” in Spanish.
- Humming is the most common sound alpacas make. They hum softly when they’re curious, content, worried, bored, distressed, or cautious.
